Rates in Cork beginning to look quite scary now. 34 cases today...

If you adjusted that to compare to Dublin...it would be like having 200+ cases a day in Dublin or more. WOW

Try your maths there again I’d say. Or have you no idea of the population of Cork?

Can someone clear up the case comparison between Dublin and Cork, that seems mad :pac:

94 in hospital 16 in ICU

Its doubling every 2 weeks(roughly).

Both admissions and ICU numbers.

4 weeks ago it was 26 and 4.
2 weeks ago it was 49 and 6.
Today its is 94 and 16.

Not good at all.

No deaths which is great.
Hospital numbers creeping upwards though.

Conflicting population stats on Cork!;)

Lower than last week.
Should we have our weekly Tuesday evening meltdown on the thread or not?

Shocking high numbers again.

Cork needs to start getting real now also.

Cork needs to start getting real ? Lads, are the people talking about cork and how bad it is actually from cork ? To be living here yes there is an uptick but it’s not rampant and given that mask wearing is very high here I’d be hopeful it doesn’t grow massively and goes down with measures that I’ve read are in place.

Why is nobody dieing of this if it is such a deadly virus. Numbers have been high for 6 to 8 weeks now. Where is the lag.

Poster may be going with the city rather than the county total.

Cork numbers are likely close contacts in the variety of clusters. Well documented in the media today how there’s clusters in care homes and work places in the city.

just 38 ICU beds available.

I read that Cork had 100% mask compliance... so not sure how this could happen :pac:

Who said it's rampant. You put measures in place now so it doesn't become rampant. Cork looks like it a couple of weeks behind Dublin's path.

Poster in the Cork thread also mentioning a possible cluster in Skibb. Needs to be taken into account how much bigger Cork is as a county vs Dublin.

I’d say it’s the demographic who are catching it, younger healthier and not as vunerable as older people who were badly affected in spring. Plus viral load. I think viral loads are lower due to mask wearing.

The young don't care according to the news, they won't cop on and limit their contacts and gatherings

Dublin has a population of about 2 and a half times the population of Cork. So Corks 34 cases would be the equivalent of about 85 cases in Dublin. But there are a lot more than 85 cases in Dublin today! (174)

This is not good enough. They’ve had months to make provisions for the upcoming winter, between test + trace and ICU capacity. I’m of the understanding our ICU capacity is barely enough in normal times never mind in a pandemic. Open to correction on that.

Probably due to the demographic catching the virus now.

Vulnerable people still staying cautious/protected better and less vulnerable people getting relaxed so catching it.

It's a good thing if it's less deadly. Doesn't mean that we were wrong in our response to it. For vulnerable people it is still very deadly.
